Hi everybody,

My name is Austin, and I'm from Venice, FL, where my dad has been a PCA pastor for 16 years. :thumbsup: It's certainly been an adventure, and the Lord continues to teach us daily. We've also been involved in foster care ministry for 3 years and are currently moving toward the adoption of three of the children. My four biological siblings and I have learned much through the experience and I think for the most part are glad to be involved, although there are definitely hardships that come with service. But we forge ahead in full expectation and hope of our Lord's mercies for whatever issues lie ahead.

I was born with spina bifida, for which I was glad to discover a thread here. God has proven His faithfulness time and time again through many difficult providences he has visited upon me, and rather than be mad, God has enabled me to look to Him through it and find His peace. One of the hardest times for me medically I can look back on as one of the highlights of my life in terms of God's providential and merciful care.

I'm grateful to have found such a huge concentration of Christians and I trust that God will cause his word to prevail on these boards and in all of our lives.

Welcome to Christian Forums! My name is Tatiana and I'm a senior moderator for the Friendship Team, which helps to watch over this forum (New Member Intros forum). Please let me know if I can assist you while you enjoy some time around CF... there's ALOT to know so it can be a little tricky.

I'm also the coordinator for the team in the CF Welcoming Committee. So I'm very dedicated to our new members and getting them caught up around the site. Here are few suggestions on getting around the areas that I have help moderate.

First off... every member should read the CF rules so that you know what is alloweable here (we try to keep this site clean for our younger members and Christian-oriented, while we do welcome those of other beliefs). Also, if you're wondering about all our different faith icons, you can learn about them here: List of Faith Icons.

If there is something you have a question about and you haven't been able to find it yet, please feel free to private message me (aka pm... you'll need 5 posts before you can send out pm's though). ;)

Thanks for the welcomes, guys and gals. I've been around for almost a week... my Buddy List is growing, my Blessing count is doing well, I've been enjoying many conversations. I also enjoyed creating my CF character last night, although it took me a while to get used to.
Thanks again.

Welcome to Christian Forums. I hope you enjoy your stay here and I pray your spirit will be lifted and your heart will have found a new home.

"Stay" is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary.
-Amos Bronson Alcott

I sought to hear the voice of God
And climbed the topmost steeple,
But God declared: "Go down again-
I dwell among the people."
John Henry Newman
